The Big Snake

Friends, welcome to October, this is the month when the Creep Factor around THOIA gets set to Mother F'in Over-Drive! So hang onto your spines as we kick it all off with a 50’s B-Movie-esque blast of giant monster madness!

It is difficult for me to imagine that this snake, which I will take for granted grew to immense proportions over several weeks (those proportions change frequently from panel to panel), and which I'll also take for granted shrank back to normal snake size (exactly) in the space of one hour, would have also managed to inflict a similar effect on the morsel of Dr. Reid's corpse.

No, it is far more scientifically likely that when the giant snake shrunk, infused with the blood serum, that his last meal would have remained John Reid-sized. That's what I would have rather seen depicted. Ew.

"And your giant rabbit, too!" is worthy of frequent repeating, I think. Happy October to everybody, and to everybody's giant rabbit too!

Giant monsters' are my favourite monster movies of the fifties , this is a good comic version of a typical story of this genre ,with the last panels almost ripped off King Kong ;Really nice artwork , love the shot of the snake coiled around the Empire State Building ...Thanks for Sharing

I'M SURE EVERYONE WHO COMMENTS TODAY HAD A BIG LAUGH AT THE --AND YOUR GIANT RABBIT TOO-- LINE, TOO FUNNY. VERY COOL STORY, I LIKE HOW YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE FALLING OUT OF THE BIG SNAKES MOUTH IN SOME PANELS LIKE THE SPLASH YET HE NEVER ACTUALLY ATE ANYONE BUT JOHN?
